now grabbcd and usod for other crops. Even
when the English crop Is Unusually light, as
was tho casc In 1855, great export from the
United States received free OF duty scales down
the price md wipes out tho margin for profit.
An anomaly Of this industrial collapse Is the
fset that beer Is neither cheaper nor better in
England, although hops arc low-priced. Beer
is heavily taxed and the price is thereby arti-
fcially raised, so that consumers do not get
the benefit Of cheap hops. By the economic
canons prevailing In England they are not
entitled to cheap beer, since that is not one Of
the necessities of life like bread, meat and
clothing. The hop-raisers, however, are un-
able to discriminate between the immortality
of taxing foreign hops and the morality Of
taxing native beer. They cannot understand
why free-traders should be unwilling TO levy
a small import duty on ono of the chief in
gradients of beer and at the same time to re-
duce the tax on beer Consumers, they con-
tend, would not have to pay more for the
manufactured article in that case while hop
growers, protected by the duty, would get bet-
ter prices and thrive as they did in happier
days. The logic is apparently good, but it fails
to make an impression upon either the Treasury
officials or the House of Commons. An i'm
port duty on foreign hops would revive, it is
true, a moribund English industry and be
genuine relief measure for agricultural classes.
but it would also be confession of the fall
blity of the frec-trade gospel, and John Bull
is not prepared TO sacrifice Cobdon's principles
for the sake of giving employment to
100000 people. Meanwhile American hop
raisers, protected by moderate duty, have
the control Of the English marleS

MIR PARNELDS HEALTH.

The reports respecting Mr.. Parnelps health
are most alarming. His continued absence
from Parliament while the Crimes bill Is in the
committee stage has tended to confirm rumOrs
which have been current for many weeks. Our
regular London correspondent has teleRTaphed
on two occasions that Mr.. Parnell is suffering
from dangerous and probably fatal malady |;
and yesterday he gave medical authority for
bis statements. The Irish leader has been In
wretohed health for long time, and his
pallor and increasing feebleness have indicated
the progress of some such disease as cancer.
His appearance in Parliament this week will be
eagerly awaited by all friends of Home Rule
Ii he shows signs of Improvement in health and
return Of Vigor, there may be cause for tenn
porary encouragement but everything now
points in the other direction. Mr.. Parnell evil
IDENTIFY is in precarious condition OF health
This is the most omnous news which Ireland
has received since the defeat Of Mr. Gladstone's
Government in the last elections.
SO far as the Parliamentary struggle Is con-
ccrued. Mr.. Parnell has colleagues who are
competent to conduct it with vigor and success.
Mr.. Healy is a better debater for general pur
poses, and Mr. Sexton is greater orator. The
Home Rule battle ca now be won without Mr.
Parnell but when the victory is gained there
can be no substitute for him who will have his
organizing power, his conservative instincts
and his discernment of political forces. The
ultimate triumph Of legislative autonomy has
been since Mr.. Gladstones conversion only
question of time. Home Rule must come, for
Ireland will mol DO satisfied without ii, and
England caunot continue indefinitely the busi
ness of governing the island without the moral
support of the people. But when Home Rule
comes, the great crisis in the fortunes OF the
Irish people will be reached. Then they will
need their greatest man. The work Of organ

The system of voluntary rifle practice for
militiamen seems to be marked success, and
the Adjutant- General is entitled to credit for
the innovation. In militia circles as we'll as in
the army, conservatism Is highly regarded, and
there need bo no wonder that the older militia
officers In this neighborhood at frst.preferred
the old system which took the men to Creed
moor with the rest Of the regiment on certain
fixed days, to shoot as often as they were
allowed chance. Under the new regulation
the citizen soldier goes to Creedmoor when he
feels like 1t within Ia certain period, at the
States expense, and has a splendid opportunity
to have picnic and to practise all he pleases
The work is naturally much more agreeable
under such circumstances, and if the reform
becomes permanent the rifle range certainly
will grow In popularity. Finally, 1t is to be
hoped, the men who thuo make the requisite
score may be allowed to avail themselves OF it
for their marksmai's decorations.

The citizens and Legislators sof Connecticut,
like the people of q good many other States,
are mucL agitated at present over the high
license question. The bill which has passed
the House, and which will, it is said, easily pass
the Senate, is an excellent measure. 1t divides
liquors into two classes, alcoholic and malt. In
towns of more than 10000 Inhabitants a
license will cost $400 for alcoholic and 800
for malt liquors. in towns of over 5000, $500
for the first class, $75 for the second, and In
places of less than 5000, $3.50 and $50 re-
spectively. No reasonable citizen can object to
these provisions. But this is not the only ex-
else legislation Connecticut is to have this
eeason. Bills already approved provide that all
saloons must be closed at IL p. III. and not be
opened before a. m. These reforms should
insure quiet nights for decent people and dis
courage laboring men from taking drins be-
fore they go to work in the morning.

MEMORIAL DAY.
A Plea That the Different States Fix
Upon the Same Date for the Day.

DOGGY BOTToM, FLA, April 25.-Edttor
Morning Ne1os: About two weeks ago the
NEWS contained short editorial deploring
the decadence of Memorial day. 1t was
well timed, and the article was copied and
commented upon by other papers. This
ought to be brought forcibly to the attention
of our people. God forbid that the genera
ton now fast passing away, who gave such
luStre to Southern arms and Southern chiv-
airy, should live to see this anniversary fall
into disuse. 1t is to be hoped that the
patriotic press of the South will stimulate
the people to action in this matter
There is one point in this connection that
needs ad justment That is uniting upon
one particular day when the Southland shall
lay her floral tributes upon the last resting
place of her heroic dead.
If | mistake not this beautiful custom and
selection of the day had its origin in your
State of Georgia. The custom, an outpouring
of the hearts affections to the memory of her
gallant dead, the day, commemorative of
the last organized resistance TO Federal su-
premacy.
There has been lack of uniformity in
date i'll the South in this matter, and the
press of the South is giving currency to a
circular emanating from the "R T.. Lee
Camp of Confederate Veterans of Rich
mond, Va, requesting that there be concert
of action and universally in this celebra-
ton. The circular dominates '30th of May
have not seen this circular therefore can
not say upon what grounds that date has
been selected.
There is strong ground for inconvenience
in this date by the lower of the southernmost
tier of States. That is, that the crop of flow
ers by that late date will have been ex-
hauSted and the wherewithal with which to
do homage to Southern valor not available
The alternative, then, is to effect compro-
mise between April rs and May 80 There
is no body corporate who has authority in
this matter. Custom and common consent,
therefore, must be the high court of appeals.
Without egotism or dictation | would like
to suggest May II as "A compromise. 1t is a
a concession nearly equal from these dates
and ought to be day when the Southland
would blossom from the Gulf to the Poto-
mac and Ohio 1t is a day associated with
deed of mighty valor on the part of the
South, the anniversary of the day when
Hancock's powerful wing of the Army of
the Potomac burst through the Salient at
Spotsylvania and very nearly accom-
piished the destruction of the Army of
Northern Virginia; the anniversary of the
day when every patriotic Georgian's blood
thrills with pride when he remembers the
mighty deed of Valor accomplished by the
Georgian -Ciordon--with two skeleton bri-
gadei, striking and hurting back that ponder
Gus wing of the Federal army. though nine
tunes outnumbered, and re-establishing the
battle lines of Lees army.
An appeal 10 all concerned, patriotism.
and common consent think win accept the
compromise aud establish this date as the
one when all can come together around the
last resting place OF the South heroic dead.

The presence of the officer soon started the
women to talking, and in q short time
Officer Greene had heard a horrible story
The negro women informed him that Mary
Knott had moved into the house about six
months ago, bringing with her puny
white child, whose race was apparent in
every feature. The woman made no at
tempt to conceal her title TO the child say
ing that it had been left with her by white
mana merchant who was paying weekly
sum for its care. The woman paid no atten-
ton whatever to the child and it gradually
began TO dwindle away. Several days ago
the people living in the neighborhood began
anticipating the childs death and advised
the woman to take care of it, Tuesday af-
ternoon late the woman packed her clothing
and left the house announcing her deter
mination of going to Birmingham. When
she left she did not have the child with her
and this soon induced the call upon the po-
lice. So far the officers have been unable
to learn anything.
